Suggest Alternative Of Subutex Treatment
I have been on subutex treatment for past year and I was going to a Dr. whom I liked very much and my last appt around the first of Dec. notified me that subutex treatment will no longer be legal in the state of Tn. I am unfortunately highly allergic to the ingredient in suboxone pills and get violently ill whenever I tried that treatment. My question is where do I go or what do I do to get back on the treatment that helped me the most?

it requires special training to be able to prescribe subutex or suboxone. suboxone contains naloxone while both the medications contain buprenorphine. now, the best person to talk to about alternatives is your doctor. often they can provide you alternative locations and are in the best position to advise you where else or whom else you can approach.
